Anybody use (or just try out)

the android port of http://opencpn.org/ocpn/ ( tablet versions
briefly discussed at http://opencpn.org/ocpn/touch_tablet ) ?
What did you think???
Reviews on google store seem overall pretty good, but kind of sketchy.
Thanks,

I've been using OpenCPN on laptops for several years now and like it
quite a bit. It has replaced Maptech Offshore Navigator as my primary
charting package onboard our trawler.

I have not tried OpenCPN on Android yet since I don't have an Android
device big enough to be useful. I know others are using it however
and there's an ongoing discussion group on the Cruiser's Forum web
site. On my Android cell phone I use the Navionics package which
comes with extensive charting for a very reasonable price. That has
become useful for exploring in the dinghy, especially in the Bahamas
where good quality electronic charts are otherwise hard to come by.
